Deion Sanders is expected to miss another Jackson State game, according to a Friday report. The Jackson State head coach hasn’t been on the sideline for the Tigers due to health concerns.
According to a new report from Football Scoop, Sanders has “endured an extended hospitalization and complicated recovery from his Sept. 22 surgery on his left foot.” Sanders was able to coach Jackson State’s games on Sept. 25, Oct. 9 and Oct. 16 after his surgery.
Sanders is expected to miss this weekend’s contest against Texas Southern as a result.
Gary Harrell, the interim coach for Jackson State, said Sanders is getting better each day.
“Coach Prime is still getting better and better, every time I talk to him,” Harrell said. “I talked to him last night; I talked to him this morning, to update some things he wanted to make sure we keep incorporated and pretty much showing how proud he was, how proud he is of the staff and the players and how we’re doing.”
Jackson State has been 2-0 in Sanders’ absence, improving its record to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in the SWAC.
